Test if printer exists 1

[rye8261]

I am looking for help on finding if a networked printer exists on a person’s computer. I have moved all our mapped printers to a new server and i want to run a vb script to test if the old printer exists and if it does, delete the old and remap the new. I just don’t know how to test if it exists because I’ve only used vbs for about 5 days now.

Thanks for any help

Take a look at the EnumPrinterConnections, RemovePrinterConnection and AddPrinterConnection of the WshNetwork object.

Hope This Helps, PH.
